After the comparison with Hitler … Merkel faces harsh criticism against her policies

Berlin (reference) – Chancellor Angela Merkel is facing criticism, which is often repeated by opposition parties and many civil society figures.

The criticism comes at a time when Germany is facing difficult political and economic conditions, especially in view of the Corona crisis, because according to the German Minister of Economic Affairs Peter Altmaier, the economy has been in the most difficult situation since the Second World War.

Merkel is even criticized by members of her party for continuing measures to curb the corona crisis, where many CDU figures are calling for the restrictions to be finally lifted and normal life to return to German society.

Merkel recently became the title of many demonstrations of her policies in the corona crisis, with protests in major German cities showing that a large percentage of the German population disagrees with the Merkel’s government’s restrictions and procedures, as some demonstrators describe Merkel’s policies as dictatorial.

FDP Chairman and Liberal Franktion leader in the Bundestag, Christian Lindner demanded the end of the restrictions and said in an interview: “It is very unfortunate that Ms. Merkel falls back into a time of so-called lack of alternatives, because nothing is without an alternative.”

Every day it has to be checked whether the restrictions of life, the freedom and fundamental rights of our constitution are proportionate or whether there are milder means of protecting health that at the same time reduce the consequences.

“NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet opposes Merkel’s policies and also calls for a” return to responsible normality ” as well as the opening of shops and stores and the return of sports life in Germany.

This enormous criticism shows Merkel’s confusion in dealing with the crisis. At the beginning of the crisis, the Chancellor received a lot of praise and congratulations because of her crisis management, but that did not last long, especially given the high number of deaths and injuries recently that have caused many to attack their policies.

Especially from other European countries that are still facing a serious threat from the corona virus that caused the death and injury of thousands, especially in countries like Spain and Italy.

Germany was sharply criticized after ignoring support for the countries affected by the epidemic, such as sending masks and other devices to deal with the virus, at the beginning of the crisis, and Italian Prime Minister Conti stressed that the Corona crisis affected the European Union Could lose reason for their presence in the eyes of citizens.

Malta’s ambassador to Finland resigned some time ago after linking Angela Merkel to Adolf Hitler. Michael Zammit Tabona has vacated his post with immediate effect, said the Maltese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

This is an indication of the annoyance of many Europeans about Merkel’s policy, which some observers believe leads to Germany controlling some of the economically difficult European countries.

It is worth noting that Merkel has been facing a criticism campaign that has been going on almost since 2015, since the refugee crisis in Europe at that time, when the European Union was faced with a major split due to the influx of refugees from the Balkans into the depths of Europe.

There has been a lot of talk in the latter about Merkel wanting to run for a fifth term. Federal Interior Minister Seehofer said, “I cannot deny that I have heard the idea more recently” and he speaks of rumors behind the scenes of the federal government.

According to observers in German affairs, Merkel is not popular enough and political enough to run for a fifth term, especially given the intense competition between members of the Christian Party to succeed Merkel.

Observers added that given the Corona crisis, economic events and difficulties would make it difficult for Merkel to lead the idea of ​​a fifth term.

This was confirmed by Friedrich Merz, one of the main candidates for Merkel’s successor, who said, “With a good knowledge of the actors and their opinions on this topic, I assume that we will have a different candidate from the 2021 Bundestag election than the current incumbent.”
